About voice control, I just got cvoicecontrol working on my minimal-install of slackware the other day. Looks very promising.

What all is required for a mini or micro installation of perl -can you do anything at all with just the main binary?

Installation (afaik) is just a matter of clicking away on the dotpup. Early 1x series pup have no gui network wizard & require the installation of perl, to allow use of ndiswrapper to setup a win .inf file.

In answer ro my own question about microperl, I recently did some work on minimizing the perl installation and have gotten a pretty workable install of around 2.5MB (without upx-ing bins). I did find out that microperl will work with only a few .pm files present, but actually the regular perl binary is smaller and can run with just a few .pm files around. However, most users probably need a few more than the minimum installed. I've been running it under test conditions where I compile lots of software and often use the 'autoreconf -if' command which runs the whole gamut of autoconf-automake scripts and needs a few extra things. I haven't included any CGI or XML stuff though, so far. If anyone is interested in this I'll upload my Slackware package. Or, for the record, you cn start with a minimum package consisting of the files in the debian perl-base package and go from there. The fukll slackware package for perl is around 33MB, so getting it down to around 2MB is quite an improvement. I first wanted and tried to do this about 2 years ago and finaly got back to it last week....
